In Raseedi Ticket (1976; The Revenue Stamp), a comprehensive account of her childhood, literary life, love, and other musings, Pritam writes of loss, innocence, bereavement, isolation, and trauma. At the beginning of the book, Pritam recalls a remark by renowned Indian writer Khushwant Singh, who joked that the story of Pritamās life was so uneventful that it could be written on the back of a raseedi ticket (revenue stamp). Pritam never forgot the remark and, with characteristic wit, turned it into the title of her autobiography.
